Dependencies and bundles are orthogonal concepts. One usually
specifies dependencies in the {Makefile,Build}.PL.
* if you install a Bundle, do not complain, (just don't use it instead)
* DO complain, if a distribution does not specify all of its dependencies
Bundles contain goodies. Or they are used as a workaround when
dependency declarations do not work for some reason.
